Abstract
Single crystals were grown in order to investigate the low temperature magnetic properties of URuAl and URuAl. Both compounds show huge magnetocrystalline anisotropy with the c direction as the easy axis. High field magnetization as well as susceptibility measurements both in the basal plane and along the c axis are presented.
